Map is now updated to work with RC2 and the full version of Minecraft.  Major change centers around the use of redstone on glowstone blocks.
NOTE: The Single Player Commands mod may take a few days to be updated once the full game is released.

"Power Through" (contains mild spoilers):

The world's cities have fall under the threat of criminals.  A new band of superheroes has been formed to combat these threats.  Play as each of the superheroes to try out different powers, in locations around the globe.

                      

Features

• Completely NEW kinds of Minecraft puzzles!!!!
  
• NON-LINEAR storyline; 6 missions in modern-day cities (plus 3 special locations) that have fallen under supernatural threat
  
• 7 super heroes with unique powers and custom skins!
  
• 7 super vehicles!
  
• ~300,000 sq. blocks of playable surface and over 2 million blocks carefully placed
  
• Main storyline requires SINGLE PLAYER COMMANDS mod, but I have added an alternate path which will allow you to complete without any mods - visually appealing, but not as much fun
  
• Includes Criswell's macros for fast hero/power switching!

About 48% done with the map.

Fairly confident that I have about 60 to 100 hours worth of work left to do!

Right on target for end of June (as long as Mojang is done patching and breaking my map building mods!)

[Klaus!]

Well, It looks great, good luck! btw, Can i be a tester?

I have a few people in close proximity to me in real life that test pre-release.  (It's a very iterative process).

Once I release the first map, I expect there will be bugs/feedback from the community that I'll need to fix.  I hope you're still interested at that point and look forward to your test results!

[Vakarain]

Looks like a pretty decent project, and yes you may use my Tower Bridge.

With HUGE THANKS to PATRICK MIN ( http://www.patrickmin.com/minecraft/ ), I now have everything I need to complete this map!

It will most likely take me a week to 'clean up' the schematic I just imported and then surround it with the final challenge.  (I will be away at Lego Brickworld Chicago and then traveling for work next week, so access to my home computer will be limited)

Then it's a last round of playtesting and some packaging of readme, skins, etc...

So I'm still going to quote June 30th as the release date.

I am also planning to be distracted by Prof_Snape's LOST map and a backlog of other adventure maps I intended to play.  



EDIT:  I'm terrified that patch 1.7 is going to drop and delay me, or drop right after I release and cause players to have to wait on a new version of Single Player Commands.  So far, I am not planning to delay this map for pistons, but if there are any cool 'adventure' features in 1.7 I will plan them for my map version 2.0

[rsmalec]

Edit: Moving screen shots to main post.  Wish I could delete this post.

[Criswell]

G..good god, man. This looks incredible! Yes, your fire engine is awesome -- actually I love your solution for wheels, the button hubcap is a pro touch.

The Sydney amphitheater thing whatever it's called is amazing. Jesus.

[rsmalec]

Thanks - if all goes well you'll get to see it all TONIGHT!

I am just about to finish the README file and do one last run thru.   I've got a few errands I have to run, and then I'm  not sleeping until this map is published.

Really want to get it out before 1.7 kills SPC mod for a few days, so I'm going to treat it like a beta version.  With intent to re-release some time after 1.7... maybe even putting a few pistons in!

[blitzscrank]

Wow! this is nice! One of the most detailed maps ive seen

[rsmalec]

Just released!   Get it here before 1.7 drops!
